French language Q&A Forum

I don't know if this was just a glitch, but during the exercise in the acceptable answers for "I made my pumpkin pie", the option audio says "J'ai fait ma tarte à la citrouille" but the option text says "J'ai fait ma tarte à citrouille". The text at the end of the exercise under "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:" is correct.

Why is this correct?  Isn't "quel, quelle etc." only for things? and while Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales is correct is there a difference in meaning between the two?

Direct speech : Ma mère m'a demandé "Qui est-ce avec toi?"

Indirect speech : a. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c'est avec moi.  

                             b. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c’était avec moi.  

I would be grateful if anyone can say a or b, which one is right, or any other is possible for this.  Thanks in advance. 

Why is "leur" the object pronoun for la police when la police is a singular noun?

Why is it 'Elle me rappelle Paula' rather than  'elle rappelle Paula à moi' ?

I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns 

Can you say "on avait décidé de se réunir après le travail"?

Also, why is it "emmené dans un bar" instead of "emmené à un bar"?

For this question, Sa bonne résolution est de parler français et ________ est de parler anglais !

I put in le mien and was marked wrong.  i don't see any indication that the speaker is male or female, so why is the answer "la mienne"

"à plusieurs reprises" was not permitted for "several times", is it an incorrect answer in this context ?

Thanks

Paul.
